If you just installed your lift, about 2 years or 30,000 on the high end, a lot less if you wheel your Jeep often.

I put about 6k a year on it and wheel hard 2-3 times and lightly another 4-5 a year. I just installed new adj lca in the rear do to a bent drivers side arm. Don't have uppers yet

If you set your lowers to factory length, that will help with the angle a bit. If you install adjustable uppers, you can make the CV at the pinion last but, the one at your output shaft will still fail. Sounds like you don't put on too many miles and don't do much wheeling so you might be able to make it last for a while.
